4 Dart Types Darts - Education Corner Brass Darts Brass is the lightest of the three common metallic darts. It is a soft alloy (copper & zinc) allowing it to be easily machined. Disadvantages include that they have larger barrels which contribute to more bounce outs and are typically softer and less durable. Nickel Silver Darts Nickel-Silver is an alloy consisting of nickel, copper and zinc. It does not contain silver it merely refers to the colour. Similar to brass, it can be machined but is approximately twice the price of brass and half the price of tungsten. Tungsten Darts Tungsten is a very heavy and dense metal. Tungsten itself is a powder and is typically mixed with other metals like nickel to form a tungsten dart barrel. It is harder to work with but will last typically longer than Brass and Nickel-Silver darts (especially the knurling). On average, a 24 gram tungsten dart will be ½ the size of a 24 gram brass dart which will allow for tighter groupings on the board. Brass Barrel Nickel Silver Barrel Tungsten Barrel Pear Standard Kite Flights & Shafts Flights The size and style of your flights can impact your game. Generally they come in three shapes. Standard is the most popular and Pear and Kite shapes provide for better grouping. Dimpled surfaces, for example, will help slow down and stabilize your darts. Slim and Vortex flights allow for tighter groupings again but have less balance. Slim Vortex Shafts Modern dart shafts size is 2Ba. The older dart shaft size is ¼Bsf. Generally they are made in 3 different lengths: Extra Short 30mm, Short 35mm and Medium 48mm. Short is the best selling length and is good for all weights of darts. Generally lighter weight darts (17g to 21g) will take shorter shafts and heavier will take longer shafts. Stapled Bull Round Wire Triangular Wire Dartboards The bristle dartboard is the most popular and is of competition quality. They are made up of compressed sisal fibres (beware of imitation materials) glued to a backing board, with the edges held by metal banding. The main advantage of this type of construction is, when you remove a dart by twisting from the board, the hole will close behind it. This means bristle dart boards tend to last a lot longer than paper coil dartboards. Wear will eventually occur to your bristle dartboard, so look for a removable number ring that will allow you to rotate the most popular areas so you get even wear on the board. Staple Free Bull Stapled Spider Staple Free Spider & Bull Banded Wire There are three basic wiring systems: (Spiders) Round Wire, Triangular Wire and Banded Wire. The bull is also available staple and staple free. 1

28 Cue Sports - Education Corner tip ferrule taper of shaft shaft collar butt collar shaft joint butt Pool /Snooker Cues Timber Cues Ash is by far the most popular wood for snooker and English pool cues. Maple was traditionally the only wood used for American pool cues. Maple is denser than ash and does not have the pronounced grain features of ash. The enhanced grain of ash cues is highly regarded by many players by utilising the arrow pattern of the wood for aim, but can be distracting for those who prefer the plainer maple. Generally ash has a better feel and touch to maple but it is personal choice. The natural spring in ash gives it more response. The stiffer maple is said to have more power for the break. Remember all natural wood will at some stage warp unless proper care is taken. Ash cues can be bent back, maple cues cannot. Proper store and care for your wooden cues is crucial. Being a natural fibre they are susceptible to direct sunlight, moisture and leaning against walls. Correct storage consists of cue cases or cue stands that store cues straight and this will extend the cues life. Composite Cues Composite cues have a construction of outer fibreglass with a graphite component for extra strength and filled accordingly. The filling consists of weights to balance the cue and to give it extra power. They are finally coated with another gloss fibreglass finish to make them warp resistant. Generally a lot more effort goes into making composite cues so their life is enhanced greatly due to their construction. These cues are built to last. They don t have the same give of natural timber cues and are less forgiving to the beginner. Remember the stiffer the cue usually the more power you can generate but your aim is critical to ensure this. Composite cues are usually reserved for the player with more ability. However good these cues are built they are susceptible to wear and tear and must be cared and stored correctly in cue case or cue stand. Cue lengths & Tip Sizes Cue Lengths Cues vary in length and are still measured in traditional imperial terms. The shortest cue length is 36 which is made for juniors and tight corners as is cues are for young adults and shorter people with 57 being the most popular and comfortable. 59 & 60 are generally for taller people or bigger tables where you need the extra length. wrap grip sleeve bumper butt cap Cue Tips Most snooker players prefer a tip size between 9mm to 10mm. English pool players tend to use a smaller tip between 8mm to 9mm mainly due to using a smaller and lighter cue ball. There are many theories about tip size in relation to the amount of spin you can impart on the cue ball with a smaller tip and how it is easier to hit the centre of the ball with a bigger tip. It is really down to personal preference. The amount of spin is mainly down to cue action, timing and most important a good follow through with the cue after striking the white ball. The ability to hit the centre of the white consistently is down to your cue action, a firm bridge, good stance and keeping still on the shot. Tip size does have an effect on the amount of throw caused by the cue on to the cue ball when using side. The amount of throw is proportional to the size of the tip i.e. the bigger the tip the more the cue ball is pushed off line, this amount does vary from cue to cue. No two cues react exactly the same with regard to throw off. Splicing in Timber Cues Ball Sizes Balls vary in size and quality and a higher quality ball set is recommended as it increases the life of your table. 1 7 / 8 " balls: Smaller tables with tighter pockets and smaller cushions for easier potting. Available in snooker and pool. 2" balls: Standard competition size ball for tables 7"x 3.6" and above. Available in snooker and pool. 2 1 / 4 " balls: American nine ball standard bigger for nine ball tables only available in pool balls. 25

41 Table Tennis - Education Corner Speed, Spin, Control You will notice that all of our table tennis bats have ratings for speed, spin, and control. Control means how easy it is to block, return serve, and generally put the ball where you want, but in practice control is mostly just the inverse of speed and spin. That is, the less speed and spin, the more control. A speed rating below 50 means very good control. From is a good all round rating and anything over 70 we consider fast for offensive play. The thinner the sponge, the better the control, a thicker sponge gives you more speed with less control. It is therefore possible to slow down a fast bat by using a rubber with thinner sponge. The quick and easy rule is that thicker sponges (2.0mm or more) results in more offensive play. 1.5mm to 1.9mm are used for more 'control' or all round players while smaller numbers are common for short and long pipped rubbers. When you swing at a ball and make contact, the sponge catches the ball and slows it down. As the ball keeps moving into the sponge and hits the wood underneath, the sponge helps kick the ball back out. 1 Star is for the amatuer who plays just for fun beginners 2 & 3 Star is for the player with some experience and wants to improve their game 4 & 5 Star is for the player who competes regularly and is well skilled in playing techniques and tactics 6 & 7 Star is for a highly skilled club player who demands the very best in spin and speed Star Ratings In determining the Star Rating for each of our bats we have taken in to consideration all of the unique characteristics in the construction of that particular bat. Every blade and rubber has a different feel, just because the ratings are the same for two items, does not mean that they will feel/play the same. Used in conjunction with the speed, spin, and control ratings we are confident that you will be able to make the purchasing decision right for you. Playing Styles There are many different playing styles. However, we can broadly categorize them as defensive, all-round, and offensive. A player with a defensive style waits for their opponent to miss, e.g., by chopping or playing push and block. A player with an all-round style has a balanced game of offense and defence. The all-round player enjoys rallying and prefers to get the ball on the table rather than blasting the ball at top speed. A player with an offensive style is aggressive and tries to control the point. The offensive player uses heavy topspin, loop kills, and/or smashes to win the point at the first opportunity. 38

Again, if you want maximum control you will lose speed and spin refer to graph.
